Italeri Volve 760 GLE

Finally finished one from the old stash! I had to re-do the paint after there was a reaction with the plastic even after Duplicolor primer, sigh

I've debated buying this kit for years,how is the fit and quality of the parts?.

Great looking paint finishes and trim.

The body's great, but interior has gaps and poorly-fitting side panels so it's hard to get the proper fit.

There is no separate engine, just a top plate that you add parts to, but I opened it and the chassis up so you can see through it and I'm satisfied. I like that kind of plastic whittling anyway

The tires are kinda square-edged so I tried to round them off and I shortened the mounting pins on the back of the wheels so they don't stick out so much too

Thanks for the comments!

Nice Volvo. Not something seen very often and your kit came out very well.

Looks great!

VERY NICE!

[Yeah Nah]

Very nice (and unusual) build Bob. My father in law had a string of Volvos including one of these and swore by them. The few Volvos I owned I swore AT. A lot.

Great Valvo!

Your hard work definitely paid off, that's a great looking Volvo! I love those older models, especially the wagons.
